Abstract
A data protection application creates backups of assets. Each asset is mapped in a directory service to one or more asset owners. The directory service is separate from the data protection application. A search query from a user seeking to search the backups is received at the data protection application. The directory service is consulted to identify assets having the user as an asset owner. A search filter is generated including a list of the identified assets. The search filter is applied to the search query to exclude from a search result backups of assets not having the user as the asset owner. The search result is returned to the user, the search result thereby including backups of assets having the user as an asset owner and excluding other backups of other assets not having the user as the asset owner.
